Pro-SoccerPBM Reserve Team Rules & Guidelines.

Ø Here are a few things to remember if you manage a reserve side in Pro-Soccer PBM.

Ø Maximum Ticket Prices are £12 (Not £22 as stated on turncard).

Ø There is NO OVERSEAS rule in reserve team fixtures.

Ø You CANNOT field any injured or suspended players, just like in 1^st team league fixtures.

Ø Teams with reserve sides are charged as 1.2 sides for turn fees. Therefore a reserve side will cost around 20% extra of the current turn fee in the game you play.

Ø On your squad list there a few codes to remember.

Ø ‘R’ status players denotes player you can player requested but still have to play the complete signing on fee for them to become full time members of the club.Teams with reserve sides DO NOT have to pay the initial £500,000 creation fee charged when requesting a player.

Ø ‘C’ status players are players loaned to you by the computer. These players play for your side in real-life so they are available for player request whenever you want. However whilst ‘C’ status if these players leave in real-life they can leave your side at any time. A maximum of 5/6 players will be created as ‘C’ status for any side, and a entire squad must be under 30 players to receive their quota of these players.

Ø

Ø ‘L’ means the same as first team squads. The player is on loan to you from team number in the next column

Ø You can move players freely between the first team squad and reserve team squad list. However ‘R’ & ‘C; status players MUST stay in the reserve squad. Just state players and player numbers on turncard.

Ø Players DON’T have to be in that squad list to play for that side. You can select first team squad members in the reserve side and visa versa.

Ø However is a player plays in BOTH teams then his skill will be reduced by around 30-25% for any first team fixtures. (Subs do not count as playing for that side, even if they take the field during the game).

Ø To avoid confusion and problems, you CANNOT drop your reserve side during the season. You will have to drop the whole club (including first team). The computer cannot run without 12 sides. However if a replacement club can be found during the season then the reserve side can be transferred to that club and you will not drop the entire side. You can drop a reserve side during week 22’s turn, as then a replacement can be created during the close season

Ø You can transfer monies to the reserve team from your first team bank balance, just say on your turncard. Money to the first team from the reserves could incur a fine..

Ø Not sending in regular reserve team selections will affect your first teams performance, particulary if players have been selected in both sides.

Ø Any questions then please get in touch.
